    Good to know: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and pictures are rebuilt in the Word file. Special layouts such as text boxes, columns, headers and footers, comments and tracked changes are not copied, and fonts may change. The result is a fully editable .docx document.

    Tips for Better Results

    • Re-add headers, footers and page numbers in Word if you need them.
    • For a fixed, uneditable copy, use ODT to PDF instead.

    ODT to Word: a complete guide

    When you need .docx instead of .odt

    Many people, offices and portals work only with Microsoft Word files. If your document was written in LibreOffice or OpenOffice — or someone sent you an .odt file — converting it to .docx makes it easy to edit in Word, Google Docs or WPS and to submit where Word files are required.

    What happens when you convert

    The ODT is unpacked in your browser, and its headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and embedded pictures are rebuilt as a new .docx document. The result is fully editable in Word.

    What is simplified

    Advanced features — page styles, headers and footers, footnotes, text frames, columns, comments, tracked changes and fields such as automatic tables of contents — are not converted. Fonts may be replaced by Word's defaults. For complex documents, LibreOffice's own File → Save As → Word format gives the most complete result.

    Common problems and how to fix them

    Headers and page numbers are missing: add them again in Word with Insert → Header and Page Number. A table looks different: adjust column widths in Word. A picture is missing: it was linked rather than embedded in the ODT.

    Good habits

    Check the document in Word before sending, keep the original ODT, and use ODT to PDF when the receiver only needs to read the document.
